Designed to boost housing diversity, transit access, and park access, the plan—developed since 2023—aims to have 50% of new housing in redeveloped zones and ensure every resident lives within 400 meters of a park by 2050. Critics, including Councilor Dan McLean, warn it risks overzealous density and resembles “blanket rezoning 2.0,” urging a fresh approach to avoid turning Calgary into a San Francisco-style city. While administration clarified the plan doesn’t directly rezone land, it does steer future development around transit hubs. Despite input from over 47,000 residents and 180 organizations, council members felt the original December 2024 deadline was too rushed. A revised version will be presented in January, followed by more public engagement before any final adoption—possibly as late as 2027.
